Ten expansion teams? a twenty team league with a home and away basis, I am up for it. Selling to anither club nope. Bringing in another Wellington investor yes.

I'd also like to see us hook up with a major overseas club who can help us create a better international pathway for our brightest young talent, and also lend us a few players from time to time. 

Has this ever worked in the history of the NSL or A-League? Hint: the answer is no, and always results in the 'bigger' club taking but never really giving anything back.

Problems are 1) 'major overseas club' tends to be inundated with talent from all over the globe; so can take their pick of the best from Africa, South America, Europe etc 2) there are precious few current generation Kiwis who have picked up a pro contract (USL excluded) without a second passport.
